American singer Mary Millben has alleged that US-based donors opposed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi are financially backing the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) and its founder, Abhijeet Dipke. In a post on X on October 14, Millben claimed that the funding was linked to efforts to challenge Modi’s leadership and urged young Indians not to remain silent.

Millben called on young Indians to organise and peacefully protest against what she described as the party’s “disruptive spirit”. She also argued that peaceful counter-movements are important for protecting democracy and freedom, while expressing support for Modi’s leadership. Her remarks come amid CJP-led demonstrations demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation over alleged irregularities in the revision of electoral rolls.

However, the foreign-funding allegation remains a claim and has not been independently established by the reports cited. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke has rejected the allegations and questioned how foreign funding could enter the country without the authorities detecting it. The exchange has brought renewed attention to questions about political funding, foreign influence and the ongoing protests in India.
